BEST LIVE ACT

[Delinha]

The last year has seen the return of some legendary names as well as a slew of new artists making their reputation on the boards. Last year it was The Arcade Fire's ensemble musicianship and inspirational uplift that had you off your arses. This year, the leading contenders are Arctic Monkeys (guaranteed intensity every time), Rufus Wainwright (guaranteed drama and tangential anecdotes), Seasick Steve (guaranteed no more than 3 guitar strings), Neil Young (guaranteed politics and heavy riffing) and Led Zeppelin (one gig, but what a gig!). But which of these rocked your world?

And The Winner Is... Led Zeppelin

They showed Jimmy and Jonesy on BBC TV this morning being interviewed at the Mojo Awards Ceremony. They asked "the" question of course. More live gigs ??

Jimmy said ... "love to, but it needs all 4 members and the singer is currently on another project and has been since the beginning of the year"

Who else was going to win??

I am surprised Prince did not win since he played about 20 O2 shows

[Riverside Bluesman]

Who else was going to win??

Based purely on their performance at the O2 Ahmed Ertegun show, my money was on Foreigner.

Oops never mind... I thought this was a best live act of all time (not current).

I was gonna say Grand Funk Railroad. Best live act, hands down.
